Electronic fetal heart rate monitoring: applying principles of patient safety.
In 1999, a highly publicized report from the Institute of Medicine identified major deficiencies in the United States health care system, which fueled the rapid growth of the modern patient safety movement. One of the greatest risks to patient safety in obstetrics is poor communication of electronic fetal heart rate monitoring findings. Standardization and elimination of unnecessary complexity ...
متن کاملElectronic fetal heart rate monitoring: research guidelines for interpretation.
The purpose of the National Institutes of Health research planning workshops is to assess the research status of clinically important areas. This article reports on a workshop whose meetings were held between May 1995 and November 1996 in Bethesda, Maryland, and Chicago, Illinois. Its specific purpose was to develop standardized and unambiguous definitions for fetal heart rate tracings. The rec...
متن کاملThe future of fetal heart rate monitoring.
Medical technology is developing at an accelerated rate. Advances and refinement in techniques of electronic fetal heart rate (FHR) monitoring are continually being designed and tested. Many of these show real promise for the future. Never-theless, for the next several years there are two major considerations. First, a more universal application of FHR monitoring i.e., to the "normal" patient ä...
متن کاملFetal heart rate pattern notification guidelines and suggested management algorithm for intrapartum electronic fetal heart rate monitoring.
CONTEXT Numerous randomized controlled trials have demonstrated limited efficacy of intrapartum fetal heart rate monitoring in improving fetal outcome. A potential reason is the wide variability in clinical decision making seen with its use. Standardizing management of variant intrapartum fetal heart rate tracings may reduce this variability and lead to improvement in fetal outcome. OBJECTIVE...
متن کاملA New Method to Derive Fetal Heart Rate from Maternal Abdominal Electrocardiogram: Monitoring Fetal Heart Rate during Cesarean Section
BACKGROUND Monitoring of fetal heart rate (FHR) is important during labor since it is a sensitive marker to obtain significant information about fetal condition. To take immediate response during cesarean section (CS), we noninvasively derive FHR from maternal abdominal ECG. METHODS We recruited 17 pregnant women delivered by elective cesarean section, with abdominal ECG obtained before and d...
